How to help your child: 
1. Encourage your child to read every single day for at least half an hour; this should be a range of fiction and non-fiction that is appropriately challenging and suitable for their age.

2. At GCSE, encourage your child to use GCSEPod, Massolit and our revision website ‘Perfect English Too’.

3. Check your child’s Google Classroom on a weekly basis.
